And most notably Samsung offered the product with up to 512GB of internal storage.

This, combined with its microSD expansion capabilities, meant the phone could max out at over 1TB of memory.

The phablet also took the dual-camera setup from the Galaxy S9+ but refined it with a ton of handy artificial intelligence (AI) features.

And the Galaxy Note 9 was also praised for keeping the headphone jack that has been steadily removed from a number of Android flagships since the release of the iPhone 7 back in 2016.

That is because there are many that are not fully invested in Bluetooth technology that enjoy the convenience of being able to plug their headphones into their device without the need for an adapter.

However, it appears Samsung may forgo the port on the Note 10, meaning fans of the product line that want the jack may be more tempted to the Note 9 than ever before.

The latest Samsung claims come by way of South Korean publication ETNews that cited an industry source.

The insider told the publication Samsung could instead opt for a signature adapter and USB-C combination that has become increasingly familiar on Android devices.

ETNews did not disclose a reason for the claimed removal of the port, however it was speculated that like other manufacturers Samsung would use the added space for improved features.

If the report is legitimate, it could suggest the Samsung Galaxy S10, that is expected to launch at the start of next year, could be the last flagship from the South Korean firm to have the headphone jack.

After years of featuring the port, OnePlus recently announced that it would forgo such functionality on its forthcoming flagship, the OnePlus 6T.

The Chinese firm claimed although making such a decision was difficult, it would allow for improvements such as greater battery life.

OnePlus' co-founder, Carl Pei, told TechRadar: "It was a very controversial decision. We're not doing it for the sake of doing it and because everyone else is. We believe now is the right time, as it'll benefit the majority of our users while keeping the downside low.

"We knew this was an option for a very long time, we were just waiting for the right time.

"By removing the jack we've freed up more space, allowing us to put more new technology into the product.

"One of the big things is something our users have asked us for, improved battery life."

Although the report claims Samsung could make such a move, nothing has been officially confirmed by the South Korean tech behemoth.

If the Galaxy Note 10 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, it could be announced as early as August 2019.
